For the USDM versions the Scion/Toyota iM part numbers are:

Part: AIR OUTLET VENT, RIGHT
  • Part Number: 55680-12280-C0
Part: AIR OUTLET VENT, LEFT
  • Part Number: 55680-12290-C0

They may be more expensive than the JDM ones though (I didn't shop around, but at one website, they were like $70 each.

Nice, I googled around too and yea seems like $70/each is about right.

Plenty of places to buy them in the US, just google the part numbers DAEMANO listed.

Yeh this looks sweet! It's on the interior mod list... very cool!

I tried to order the parts to do this mod.

All 4 of the PNs mentioned in this thread have been discontinued in the US. Couldn't order them and no stock on hand.

Successfully ordered the Auris vents through Amayama after failing to source them domestically.

Instead of using a dremel, I used a utility knife (nice tough metal stanley one) to cut the plastic. I just heated the blade up with a blow torch briefly, made a cut, rinsed/repeat. Much cleaner than a dremel (no shooting plastic shards everywhere), and allowed me to be very precise and have tight tolerances on the tabs that are created via the cuts so the two pieces stay together very strongly.

Also, I removed the center vent piece from the vent shroud by taking out the single screw in the back so I could work on the shroud more easily. Less risk of damaging the pretty part and kept the pretty part nice and clean.

So... this is still not 100% sure, BUT prob work. You guys might not need to import/buy Auris vents. Instead you can buy Toyota iM's vents. iM & Auris uses same interior.

From the looks of it, same design. I'll prob order it later to see if it works w iM vents & report it back.

You can't. I already tried this. Both version of the vents that were imported to the US have been discontinued by US Toyota. The only way to get them is to import them through Amayama from Japan direct.

You can't as... it won't fit? As they're different sizes? Cuz currently iM is sold in US as Toyota Corolla iM. When I went to local Toyota dealership (for different reason), I saw same vents as Auris was in iM. Which prob means, they should be US part #.

I tried as in, I ordered both sets of USDM part numbers and both were marked as discontinued in the US. You can find them in USDM parts catalogs, like on the websites, and the dealers can see them, but they're out of stock and marked discontinued.

Kind late but want to let you know that the 2nd Gen one *2022+ has this exact vent.

So, you can just buy it from dealer in a few month or junkyard/ebay in a year.

I would keep the original now cuz it’s actually more unique now? [emoji28]
